This year each homeroom teacher and the middle school team will hold a “Virtual Back to School Night”. By now you should have received your Zoom invitation with the date and time of the meeting(s). The purpose of these meetings is for the teacher to introduce themselves, briefly review the grade level curriculum and share their expectations for the 2020 - 2021 school year.

This is a “ parent only” meeting. See you then!

Prior to your meeting with the teacher, please read the following documents: New School Handbook, Health Information from the Nurses Office and FAQ's from the Diocese of Bridgeport Catholic Schools Office)

I wish to thank the Home School Association for its commitment and dedication to our school. The H.S.A. is a fundraising organization unlike a PTA. We have two major fund raisers at our school, the “Shopping Showcase Extravaganza” and the Cash Raffle. 

In the past, we have had other “fun raisers” like the Fall Festival, Breakfast with Santa, the Guys and Dolls Dance etc. designed not to make money, but to build community and make memories. Due to the present set of circumstances beyond our control, some of these events may not be possible.

Here are some facts: In parish tuition for one child is $6530. Yet it costs over $8500 to educate one child at our school in grades K-8. (In the state of Connecticut, it costs on average $16,000 to educate one student in public school.) The diocese gives the schools a small amount of money. The Home School Association must fundraise to make up the shortfall. That is why it is so important for every family to participate in our fundraisers. It is vital to the life of our school.

As part of our mission to make a high-quality Catholic education accessible to all, we strive to keep our tuition affordable, and we offer significant financial assistance to those in need. As a result we have a gap between our cost and revenue per student.

The “Shopping Showcase Extravaganza" is one of our major fundraisers of the year. Information on how to register to participate can be found here and in this email. 

As stated in our School Handbook, “Every family needs to participate or send an opt out check for $100.“ Thank you for your cooperation and generosity!

 Any questions, please contact me directly ([email protected]) or Janet Mitchell ( [email protected]. ).

Please remember to send your child’s Daily Health Screening form in the morning. If you forget it, you need to take your child home, take his/her temperature, answer the questions and return to school with the form.
